Default installing steering wheel

I recently purchased a replacement steering wheel for my 70 vette. Is this no more complicated than removing the horn button, taking out a few screws and replacing the wheel. Thank you Jim :confused:

Might need a puller to get the old wheel off. Unless you wanna try the bubba method. Bubba would have a friend help him by pulling back on the wheel while the other smacks the end of the steering shaft with a hammer. Pull real hard and a couple a good smacks it will pop off. :smash: :D

Pretty much cut and dry. I figured it out. There is one little piece for the horn that may be a problem. Good luck.

I thought Bubba would have his friend stand outside the car holding the wheel real tight and Bubba would redline the engine and dump it into gear thus pulling the wheel right off :D :jester

Nah that'd be too dangerous, even for bubba, he'd just chain it to his truck.
